NOEL MURPHY PONDERS THE DRONIE

photography with a cheap, readily available alternative, and as they also ramp up marketing strategies to a new level.

Remember the drone-shot video of Geelong’s waterfront Christmas tree that someone remarked made the waterfront look like Monte Carlo? It drew squillions of hits and lit up the old town like a … well, like a Christmas tree.

The artistically minded Geelong Powerhouse folk set the ball rolling with a brilliant video compiled from footage by three small drones tearing through the old power station. You might have seen the riveting drone footage of Bells Beach promoting this year’s Rip Curl Pro at Torquay. Mighty stuff and going around the world in an instant.

But back to dronies. They might sound suspiciously like home movies. Hopefully they’ll be something interesting – given most selfies are inane exercises in narcissism, after all – but you’d be putting your head in the sand to think they won’t be popular.

Question is, just what can we expect with midget drones flying about everywhere? How will aggro wattlebirds take to new neighbours in their territory? That latte you ordered from the café up the street might not make it to your front-door droneport. That pizza might get hijacked. In the US, they’re worried about gun-toting rednecks popping drones they don’t recognise or like.

WWW.THEWEEKLYREVIEW.COM.AU/MY-VIEW / /MY-VIEW

Some of the new drones already out there are terrific but kind of ominous, including one model that’s like a trained bird of prey.

Chuck it in the air, it buzzes off, snaps a pic of you and returns to your arm.

Drones may well need their own airspace.

Privacy laws are running miles behind already and it’s a monty that approaching humans uninvited will become like approaching whales; do so at your own peril.

Drones in residential areas offer a whole new genus of neighbourhood disputes.

What about law enforcement agencies?

Traffic authorities? Local councils? If mobile phone cameras killed the paparazzi, what will drones do? Are we sure we want this?

I saw another eagle on TV recently, too, with a GoPro camera attached to its head filming its diving, swooping and wheeling manoeuvres through the sky. That got me thinking also. How good would they be at tracking drones and figuring who’s spying on you? Or at eating evidence? Who knows?

There might just be an entirely new security market these little drones are opening up. ● nmurphy@theweeklyreview.com.au (SUPPLIED)

potted a strange sight over Norlane recently – a wedge-tailed eagle, directly over Melbourne Road, getting harassed by half a dozen smaller birds out of their territory.

Their persecution was intense and the eagle reluctantly cleared out.

It set me thinking.

Not so much about eagles in suburbia – it had probably wandered in from nearby Anakie – but about other airborne creatures raising questions on several fronts. UAVs, unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, are getting smaller and cheaper and before long you might reasonably expect every kid to have a small, hand-sized drone. All for considerably less than the cost of a mobile phone. Think $75.

It’s the next evolution of the selfie – the dronie – and it’s coming to a street, café or backyard near you: kids, well not just kids, with drones programmed to buzz along behind them, videoing their every move. Skiing, riding, parachuting, partying, rock climbing, surfing.

Drones are rapidly making their presence felt as they elbow photographers out of a gig, replace helicopter and other aerial

I stopped smoking on … Deakin University and I both went smoke-free on March 10 last year after a habit that lasted almost 25 years for me.

I love my job because … of the people I work with. I am also lucky enough to utilise my passion for social media, collaboration and communication via projects I am involved with.

(REG RYAN)

I decided to quit smoking because … I didn’t want to be a 40-year-old smoker, and my 40th birthday year coincided with Deakin going smoke-free. When I was asked to be the staff ambassador, I thought the planets were aligning.

Since I made that decision I … feel free. When you smoke, you are always looking for that next ciggie. I now enjoy whatever I am doing without the stress of that addiction. After the rollercoaster of emotions that quitting cold turkey brought out in me, and now that I am more confident in calling myself a non-smoker, I feel like a healthier and more patient person.

conversations I have had that have helped me personally and I hope I have helped others, too.

The support I received in my journey to quit smoking came from … my wonderful bunch of family and friends, in particular my daughters Georgia and Lucinda and my amazing mum. I also got incredible support from work colleagues.

Support for people wanting to quit smoking is important because … smoking is an incredibly difficult addiction to break. Support from others provides the inspiration to stay smoke-free.

I am proud to be Deakin’s Smoke Free Ambassador because … it gives me an opportunity to support others by sharing my own journey. There are many people and many

I think Deakin University going smoke-free was … a fantastic initiative that has encouraged staff and students to seek support for their addiction. I am proud to work for an organisation that strives to provide a healthy environment.

The Healthy Together Geelong campaign is an important education program because … it provides information and resources to ensure optimal health and well-being. Deakin is a member of the workplace participation program,

I am most proud of … my children, Lucinda (16), and Georgia (15).

My top tip for healthy living is … everything in moderation, and do a little something you love every day.

What I like most about Geelong is … the great sense of community, not to mention our beautiful beaches.

The best place to go for a bite to eat/drink/coffee in Geelong is … you can’t beat the hangover wrap at Pakington Pantry, the coffee at Fuel; the tapas at Black Bull is great, and the wine at Union Street Wine is always impressive.

My favourite way to relax is … reading a good book, relaxing in the spa, good glass of red wine.

All three combined.

I am looking forward to … my trip to the US and Canada with my husband in a fortnight. ● With JESSICA GABITES

COVER STORY \ CHEF AARON TURNER HAD EVERYONE TALKING WHEN HE OPENED HIS LOAM RESTAURANT … AND AGAIN WHEN HE CLOSED IT. NOW HE’S BACK WITH MORE TO TEMPT OUR TASTE BUDS. BY WAYNE BUTTNER

t’s a long way from Geelong to the streets of Nashville and it seems just as big a gap between fried chicken and the award-winning cuisine that chef Aaron Turner created at Loam. For four years, Loam in Drysdale was lauded as one of Australia’s best restaurants with its innovative foraged food menu.

Many were shocked when it closed but for Aaron it was time to move on.

Two years later he is back and about to introduce us to the Nashville hot fried chicken version of southern fried chicken.

The Hot Chicken Project is set to open as yet another new foodie destination in the increasingly popular James Street area of Little Malop Street.

It’s not a sit-down restaurant, but a small wine bar where you can enjoy chicken (and fish, or tofu “for our vegetarian friends”) – mild, hot, really hot or so damn hot.

“It’s a small venue that’s designed to be a fun place to go where you can take a break from the serious side of life … a place to have a laugh and enjoy food and wine,” says Aaron.

And the chicken is not something you just dip in flour and fry.

“There’s just as much work in getting this right as there was in getting the food right at Loam,” says Aaron.

“We’re not just frying chicken. The flour that we use – to quote a famous line – has its own secret herbs and spices. And there’s two days of preparation in getting the chicken ready before you fry it.

“Then there is a real art to deep frying it before serving it in a sauce that can vary from mild to really, really hot.

“It’s a real science. There’s plenty of bad fried chicken out there.”

Aaron should know – he spent around 18 months in Nashville and a good part of that time learning all about what makes good fried chicken, and Nashville Hot Chicken is by far the best.

But chicken hadn’t been on the menu when he headed to Nashville. He’d gone to visit a friend for some time out.

“Once I had tasted the Nashville hot fried chicken, I thought this is so good, I need to bring it back to Australia,” says Aaron.

“I once spent a week eating lunch and dinner at the different hot chicken shacks around Nashville trying to figure it out.

“Mind you, I then got on a 20-hour flight to present at the Melbourne food and wine festival. As much as I enjoy hot chicken, I wouldn’t recommend that.”

mortgaged the house and headed back overseas.”

Aaron worked in Noma in Denmark and El Celler de Can Roca in Spain – often voted as the No.1 and No.2 restaurants in the world.

“I basically paid to educate myself via a mortgage, but it was a great learning experience. They were both incredibly good restaurants, although very different.”

Aaron is opening up the Hot Fried Chicken Project in partnership with Kate and Nathan Veach, who run the Kilgour Street Grocer and Café as well as Bistro at Banks at Marcus Hill, and Nathan Johnston from Coffee Cartel, whose Brew Bar is also a part of the burgeoning development in Little Malop Street.

Aaron is also working on another project – IGNI, a restaurant in Ryan Place that is due to open later this year.

“We’re still working through the concept but we want to create a spot for dinner in Geelong that is a dynamic fun place to eat. We also want to celebrate the service side of things. The industry is too focused on chefs.

“It’s a real science. There’s plenty of bad fried chicken” “Good service is so important. You can have the best food in the world, but it doesn’t matter; if it doesn’t reach the table right, all is lost.”

The Hot Chicken Project is not Aaron’s first venture in to this style of food. When he first came back from Nashville he opened up Belle’s Hot Chicken in Fitzroy.

It was an immediate success – although some diners saw it as much a challenge as a relaxed place to enjoy some time out.

“People can be wankers with chilli. They’ll say it’s not that hot even though they’re sweating and bright red in the face,” says Aaron. “So we just kept upping it and ended up with a ‘really f ……. hot’ version.”

Street scene

disposable income, are looking for somewhere different to go.

“It’s no longer about a six-pack and pizza on the way home. As long as the council keeps up, you will see big change in the next five years.”

And he’s keen to be a part of it – both his actions and words are proof of that. ● wbuttner@theweeklyreview.com.au » The Hot Chicken Project will open on Tuesday, June 13, at 84a Little Malop Street, Geelong.

Hours: Tuesday to Thursday 3-10pm, Friday-Saturday noon-10pm, Sunday 11am-4pm.

Little Malop Street is the perfect inner-city hub for your morning coffee and some light shopping. By day or night the section between Moorabool and James streets is fast becoming a popular destination.

pend a bit of time with Aaron and his belief that food should be fun keeps coming through.

“Eating hot chicken in Nashville made me as happy as dining at amazing restaurants around the world,” he says.

“Or it may be sitting on the side of the road eating fresh fruit. Food is a moment. It’s a time and place. And it should be fun.

“For a while there the upper echelons of the food industry got overly emotional and took themselves too seriously.

“Even for me it was over the top. They can forget the simple pleasure of eating an apple when you really want one. It may end up being the most enjoyable thing you eat that day or week.”

The success of Loam rocketed Aaron up into the ranks of Australia’s best and most innovate chefs but, as is so often the case, his success didn’t happen overnight.

While he had always enjoyed cooking, Aaron, originally from Portland, first worked as a graphic designer but soon realised it wasn’t for him.

He headed overseas and ended up working in a kitchen in Ireland, which sparked his interest in becoming a chef.

“I came back and did my training in Melbourne before heading down to the Geelong region to help a friend at a winery for summer,” says Aaron. “Life took its course and I ended up buying a house down here.

Later I realised I hadn’t done what I had set out to, so I

But, like so many, Aaron was drawn back to Geelong, having seen ongoing change since he left for Nashville just two years ago.

“When we first opened Loam it was hard to get a good cup of coffee in Geelong. It’s changed so much in the past few years,” he says.

“It’s a great place to live … right on the doorstep of the bay, great beaches and Melbourne. People just need to be more positive about it and embrace the changing city.

“The council still needs to improve in helping new business … to look outside the box. They should be providing greater support for owner-operators, perhaps in the way of reduced rates, to encourage CBD growth.

“They also need to do something about some of the signage in the city that is covering up some of our beautiful old buildings. Change is happening and they need to help drive it, otherwise we will continue to tread water.

“Education and health are creating more white-collar jobs. That means more professionals, who have more

Hucksters & Co is the new kid on the block, with specialty coffee and freshly baked sourdough offerings.

The Brew Bar is a great spot to sit with your cuppa while you flick through their large library of books, all of course dedicated to coffee. James Street Bakery is more about the food but also delivers on the coffee side of things.

If you’re looking for something that little bit different, there is a range of shops selling things from quirky t-shirts (QwertyShirt) to records (Real Music Vinyl and CDs, above) to locally hand-made crafts. Having opened 10 weeks ago, The Collective is a mini market selling everything hand-made by local women of Geelong.

The array of quilts, wooden roses, candles, polymer jewellery and resin chopping boards are just a few of the goodies the store has to offer. New stock arrives every few weeks.

Parkers Steak House has the best longevity in this precinct, with 10 strong years under its belt and the reputation of having the best steaks in Geelong. Recently it was joined by James Street Bakery (above), a popular breakfast and lunch venue.

There’s also Pistol Pete’s, as well as Caruggi Cucina Rustic Italian and Blue Note Bistro – the new additions set to open in the laneway.

And don’t forget to visit Armageddon Cake Dessert Bar, which sells exactly what the name suggests, cakes and desserts.

Aside from the popular Beav’s Bar, there are also Loft 82, Opium Cocktail Bar and St James Bar and Club, where you can enjoy a few after-dinner drinks, or hire them for larger events. ● EMILY PIDGEON

With property it’s all about location, location, location. When it comes to the wines of Burgundy it’s as much about producer, producer, producer as the region’s famed chardonnay and pinot noir vineyards.

Burgundy is a vinous minefield that can feel impenetrable to people who have cut their teeth on wines from the Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula.

The region is a carpet of vineyards that have been critically graded into a hierarchy by their terroir – the sum of their earth, climate and aspect – and thousands of years of history.

First, there are the sub-regions. South of Dijon in central France are the two key sub-regions for pinot noir – the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune.

Then come the crus with grand cru vineyards at the top of the Burgundy tree.

Said to produce the very best and with bottles selling for thousands of dollars, these account for 2 per cent of the region’s pinot noir.

Next comes the premier cru, accounting for 12 per cent of Burgundy’s vineyards, then village wines (36 per cent).

Nathan has always been frenetic. It’s this passion that now brings to Geelong and Australia amazing beans from the Long Miles Coffee Project in the little land-locked East African nation of Burundi.

The nation made the news again last month for a failed coup. It carries heavy scars from civil war and tribal uprisings.

Nathan wants to make a difference to the lives of impoverished Burundian farmers who produce some of the best beans in the world.

Long Miles Coffee Project was founded by US couple Ben and Kristy Carlson. By helping farmers grow and craft individual micro lots of coffee that are then processed locally with care, they can improve the well-being of villagers through fair prices, education, better growing techniques and business acumen.

ign-writing on the front window of Nathan Johnston’s Brew Bar in James Street declares that the man inside is a coffee explorer. Surely a touch of hubris.

But, in another era, Nathan Johnston would be in a pith helmet at the head of a column in search of the red-cherried botanical that has become his El Dorado.

Nathan is seriously driven to give those who are equally passionate about coffee the most exquisite flavours he can find. And it doesn’t matter if he has to travel half way around the world and trek through jungle-clad mountain regions in war-torn African nations.

He’s as obsessed as any explorer in history.

Nathan knows what he’s looking for and he has credentials. He’s a roaster, barista, entrepreneur, importer, exporter and multiple expedition leader.

His searches have taken him to Uganda, Ethiopia, Burundi and Indonesia, where he is right now.

Nathan strives to source his beans directly from the families who grow them. From a corner of his Brew Bar, he operates Hand Pickers, the brand responsible for bringing in sacks of precious micro-lot green beans.

Burundi farmers have long used the Bourbon Jackson varietal coffee bush that takes exquisite flavours from the soil. Your taste buds will be looking for an enormous range of flavours through herbs, fruits and florals. For coffee lovers who want to take the next big step, this is where you start.

Nathan is the only Australian importer of Long Miles arabica coffees. Just 200 bags this year have to be shared across his two Geelong cafés and others he sells around Australia.

“I have spent five years focused on African coffees and the past two years going to Burundi,” says Nathan. “The Long Miles project enables me to do direct trade. It’s my passion and I love their coffee. It’s flawless and beautiful.

“I have respect for these hand pickers.

I want to give serious roasters around the country and coffee drinkers here the full story about these wonderful flavours.

“I buy my beans in Burundi on taste, sometimes straight from the cupping rooms at the washing stations, taking mainly nano [the smallest possible trading unit] lots from small hillside families or groups of farmers.

“The retail price of this coffee is more expensive. It reflects the quality and rarity of these amazing coffees and, of course, the cost of bringing it to Australia.” ● BOB OSBURN

farmers across 26 coffee hills at elevations of about 1800 metres. This is where the 18 crucial stages of coffee production is overseen. Many farmers walk for hours to carry their crops to the stations. It’s their only income.

What impresses Nathan is the traceability of these micro-lot beans. He scans his computer to trace his purchases right back to the relevant plot of land and the local farmer.

When you understand that some farmers can produce just one 60-kilogram sack of beans a year from their war-damaged trees, you appreciate how privileged you are to be sitting at the counter in Geelong tasting their crop. Making the experience more personal are wonderful colour cards with pictures of the growers, stories about their hill and taste profiles on what to look for in their beans.

It’s a unique experience to be tasting a premium coffee while you can see the face, reflecting its own hard story, of someone involved in the project right in front of you.

Four big grinders on the Brew Bar counter hold beans from different hills, beans picked on particular days and beans from either washed, natural or honey processing.

However, when the hoppers are empty, there are no more. The beans change as each

The almond mylk (spelt differently to differentiate it from a dairy product) fad has taken a grip on coffee drinkers who want their daily shot in a more nutritious form. It can enhance the flavour of your coffee by adding notes of nuts, vanilla and caramel, and creates a creamier texture.

success has a new definition A wider view is the key to this law firm’s future

“certification demonstrates that the business walks its talk”

T

oday, many businesses claim to be green, sustainable and responsible – and when everybody claims to be the same thing, those words can come to mean less and less.

Harwood Andrews senior associate Ashleigh Wall says B Corp certification turns ambiguous concepts of “going green” or “being good corporate citizens” into something tangible and measurable that people can identify, trust and support.

The law firm recently became B Corp certified. Now it is working to encourage other businesses in the Geelong and Surf Coast regions to do the same.

B Corp certification is issued by B Lab, a US non-profit organisation that gives the tick of approval to businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. Ashleigh says B Corp certification is similar to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification for green buildings or Fairtrade endorsement for coffee. However, it takes a wider view.

“While it is nice to know that you are drinking a Fairtrade cup of coffee, it doesn’t tell you anything about the environmental footprint of the business producing it,” she says. “If a business operates in a LEED-certified building, it doesn’t tell you how they treat their workers.

“B Corp certification evaluates the social and environmental credentials of the entire business, rather than looking at just one aspect. This big-picture evaluation is important because it helps distinguish between truly good companies and just good marketing.”

B Corp certification is popular in the US and growing in Australia. Earlier this year, Harwood Andrews became one of more than 1200 businesses from 40 countries to have B Corp certification.

Prominent companies to have signed on include clothing label Patagonia, online craft marketplace Etsy, coffee cup brand KeepCup and TOMS shoes.

To be certified as a B Corp, a business must do an

online assessment that measures its environmental and governance performance, its community impact and how it treats its staff. The assessment must be redone every year, giving companies a solid way to measure their progress.

“Already we have noticed benefits from our certification, including greater employee engagement, increasing credibility and building trust in your customers,” Ashleigh says.

Harwood Andrews has also found there’s a sense of community between B Corp businesses. The firm has already had inquiries from other businesses that are B Corp certified or are interested in the process.

For its part, B Lab holds monthly CEO lunches, to discuss topics such as using the certification to increase employee engagement and or to increase a business’s size or scope.

“For employees, B Corp certification demonstrates that the business walks its talk,” Ashleigh says.

“Many people want to know that their work is having an impact and that their employer recognises that good business is about more than just profits; it’s also about creating value for all stakeholders, including employees, customers and the wider community.

“If one of the goals for your business is to create better jobs and improve the quality of life in your community, then you may want to join the growing number of businesses that have sought B Corp status.” ● » www.harwoodandrews.com.au

t might have been the flies and mozzies, or the 46-degree temperatures somewhere outside Katherine. It might have been running out of water, or the soles of his shoes melting on his blazing-hot bike pedals. It should have been sleeping rough, with little clothing and rolled in a ball to conserve heat in near-zero temperatures. But no, none of these seemed to faze Ben Henzgen and his dream of riding around Australia on a mountain bike. It’s hard to imagine a person more stoic than this diminutive 30-year-old endurance athlete.

Where mere mortals might be gasping, collapsing with heat exhaustion or going semi-mad in the isolation, Ben’s in his element. Rocking along to Led Zeppelin, composing poetry and haiku in his head, marvelling at sunsets and the stars overhead at night, monitoring his heart rate and shouting at the skies with the sheer joy of his presence in the universe.

Maybe he is a bit touched but there’s no denying this Geelong bloke’s fortitude and ability to make his own good fortune. Out in the dusty red Kimberley oven, water supplies dwindling, the heat a ridiculous 40-something and the next roadhouse a couple of hundred kilometres away, his equanimity was never in doubt. Not really.

Sure enough, along came the impressively named Halls Creek angels, Milton Hobbs Lintern and Aquinas Darnell Johns. He’d met Milton the night before, when he emerged from the darkness with a very welcome chicken and loaf of bread. “They helped inflate my tyre, gave me a 1.5-litre frozen

bottle, soon to melt into sweet ice water and revealed the location of a secret waterhole oasis in the desert. What a score – 290 kilometres to Fitzroy Crossing is the longest stretch I’ve had so far between roadhouses. Bloody legends,’’ he says.

“After my good fortune at the waterhole this morning, my Halls Creek friends bringing heaps of food and drinks, I had a refreshing wash/swim, then made haste when some other people arrived to do the same thing. Met a top bloke up the road named Anthony, who gave me a banana, muffin, zip tie, carabiner, small surgical pliers and great advice about mining trucks, mosquitoes and the Nullarbor.

“Made Fitzroy Crossing 153 kilometres after 4pm, after it reached 41 degrees. Night riding was pleasant. I stopped for a nap after 49 kilometres and was woken by the Halls Creek guardian angels after two-and-a-half hours’ sleep. They’d driven all the way to Broome to grab me a new tyre; my current tyre was balding and had a decent horizontal slice in it. Only 10 hours or so out of their way. Absolutely amazing.’’

P

eople have invited him into their homes, fed and cared for him, fellow travellers have offered aid and plastic-bags have been put in place to mark waterholes for him.

So what kind of bloke takes on a self-imposed challenge like riding around Oz on a mountain-bike – not a road bike – and snatching just a couple of hours’ sleep at a time, on the ground or on cold concrete in shelters? A determined one, for starters. And a bloke who’s already pretty familiar with long-distance hauls. He has pedalled a total of 57,756 kilometres in several treks across the United States in the past couple of years, crossing the Rocky Mountains “a few times”, the Mojave Desert in blistering 44-degree heat and rode from Minnesota to California in similar bakehouse conditions – via Texas. He rode back from California to Des Moines, Iowa, with an 11-kilogram pack, a five-kilogram weight vest and a Camel-back of water, averaging 246 kilometres a day.

Ben has undertaken his around-Australia ride minus the weights but his early plans of averaging more than 300 kilometres to complete the job in 45 days have proved tougher than he thought. So, he’s been averaging around 260

science; his US Aussie Rules football championship games; jobs fishing in Alaska and on a bison farm … the list goes on.

What he hopes to do riding around Australia is promote fitness and highlight awareness of climate change. He’s doing the entire ride on his own, no back-up crew, barely any provisions and regularly posting updates to social media.

If he gets a bit excited when he sees horses and cattle out on the long paddock – and posts a video of himself bellowing with delight at them – it’s understandable. A person can get a little starved for company when there are so few signs of human habitation during 24-hour bike rides between roadhouses.

kilometres a day with the overall trip estimate blowing out beyond 55 days. That will still get him in the Guinness World Records. It’s fair to say Ben is a fitness fanatic. Aside from rigorous cycling regimes, he subjects himself to punishing gym workouts. Burpees are his torture of choice. For the uninitiated, a burpee involves dropping from an upright stance to a squat, kicking your legs back so you’re into a plank position, doing a push-up, bouncing back to the squat position and springing upright once again.

Last year, he did 420 of them a day for 20 days to raise cash for American Medical Association research into medical marijuana. Before his ride around Australia, he did a thousand of the things outside Market Square in a couple of hours.

Another thing or two about Ben that surprises is his hair and beard, which might be whatever colour, chop, crop, hack, design or other variation comes to mind; his wild tattoos, all two dozen of them; his bass guitar chops; his degree in applied

B

ut that’s all grist to the mill in athletic endeavour and a spirituality Ben only alludes to occasionally. His poet’s eye is a dead giveaway of the latter. “Distant silhouettes on the horizon appear like cardboard cutouts on a toddler’s collage,” his online journal notes. “The sunlight reflected via the street-lamp-style moon reveals rocky cliffs as the towering crests inflate over the next ten kilometres. Some stay hidden in shadows, forever a lucid wonder in my imagination of what their whole illuminated beauty could encompass. And now, in daylight, I’ll eat my hat one thousand times; I could never have envisaged the true spectacle of the Kimberley region.”

Why is he doing the ride? “To promote climate change awareness. To set a world record for fastest to circumnavigate Australia on a mountain bike. To explore and experience a variety of places and cultures … A valuable chapter of the journey towards reaching my full potential as an endurance athlete and extreme adventurer. To improve my fitness. To meet interesting people and make new friends.

“So I can eat meat pies, whole blocks of cheese and peanut butter by the spoonful without getting fat. To inspire others to ride their bikes more and travel more. Reconnaissance to set a record to circumnavigate Australia on a road bike in the future. To spread peace and love around Australia.”

Ben is expected to pedal back into Geelong this weekend. ● nmurphy@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.facebook.com/BenjaminCarlsenHenzgen

PUTTING THE LAW to good work This local law firm believes there is a mutual benefit in giving back to the Geelong community, writes NOEL MURPHY

I

t can be an odd thing to have a meeting with a lawyer.

It’s not something you do every day, unless you’re of a litigious persuasion or in the corporate world, maybe running a family business or in the property game.

For most people, lawyers tend to surface only when something’s out of kilter – wills, divorces or some such.

That tends to lend lawyers, unfairly, something of a grim public reputation.

Making it even more unjust is the considerable pro bono work done by many lawyers – voluntary work for the public good. It’s all a bit of “contradictio in adjecto” (a contradiction in terms), as a Latin scholar might say.

Demystifying the nature of lawyers and the law, however, is something Kevin Roache and Tom White have done for years – following a path blazed by Frank Gargan, who founded their firm, Coulter Roache, back in the 1930s. In short, it’s about a culture of giving, about actively encouraging staff to give expertise and other help to charities, groups and organisations that benefit the Geelong community.

The philosophy is simple but the returns are many.

The company has 24 lawyers and more than 60 staff, all actively encouraged to give to the community.

The positions Coulter Roache’s staff hold bring a professionalism many groups might lack. They often get involved in office-bearer roles that call for heavy lifting – secretary, president, chair, committee member. The work is time-consuming and unpaid but it is appreciated, as evidenced by the occasional life membership.

But there’s more to it. While boards, committees and foundations might save on legal fees, these volunteers don’t mind getting a little dirt under their nails – which goes a long way to breaking down the myths about lawyers being aloof, distant or intimidating.

“When I started in law in 1969, Frank Gargan was heavily involved in community activities,” says Kevin, the firm’s principal. “He started the business in Geelong in 1935 and he was involved in a couple of dozen pro bonos: Geelong Hospital, East Geelong cemetery, Geelong Racing Club, a long list of clubs I inherited.

Local lore: Kevin Roache and Tom White of law firm Coulter Roache.

“We’re a community-based legal firm and you can’t be effective in the community unless you’re involved.

We see ourselves as a legal firm that is very much a part of the community and we expect our lawyers will get involved.”

At 74, Kevin is grandfather to six, has three adult children and is as entitled as any to repair to the golf course or fishing boat. But he maintains a guiding role at Coulter Roache, although he says he’s passed the reins to Tom. He came to law through night school, correspondence and scholarships, after starting out in accountancy. He still enjoys the feedback he garners through his skills.

“I get a lot of personal satisfaction at being able to help people professionally and voluntarily,” Kevin says.

“If you get involved with community activities, you can see the plate of different people; it puts a different light on your needs.

“Pro bono does help in demystifying lawyers but we don’t do it for those reasons. You can never have enough philanthropy if it’s directed to the right causes.

“We set up a lot of foundations for groups based on philanthropy. It’s a growing area; a lot of people who didn’t have a lot of money are now inheriting from older, wealthier generations.”

It ranges across many worthy local endeavours – Run Geelong, BacLinks, Give Where You Live’s BIG and Loaned Executive programs, Kids Plus Foundation,

“It provides our lawyers with a sense of community involvement & pride to know they are having a positive influence” – Tom WHITE, Coulter Roache

Bravehearts, Bethany and Our Town’s Ice Fight.

Others who benefit include Geelong Law Association, MacKillop Family Services, Bellbrae Primary School council, Torquay Surf Life Saving Club, Bells Beach Preservation Society, Gateways, Barwon Heads Community Bank, Vicwest Geelong Community Telco, Committee for Geelong Leadership Program, Chamber of Commerce Public Finance Committee, St Mary of the Angels Foundation and financial committee, Lifeboat and Anam Cara Geelong Foundation.

Tom, who is Coulter Roache’s managing principal, sees giving as an important part of a symbiotic relationship with Geelong.

“As a business, we have always tried to keep the interests of the wider community in mind. Giving back is always a win-win. The community benefits but so do our lawyers,” he says.

“It provides our lawyers with a sense of community involvement and pride to know that they are having a positive influence. I believe that those who are in a position to be able to give back have a responsibility to do so.”

It’s a timely sharing of mutual interests, too, by Tom’s reckoning. “I believe that we are at a turning point and it’s up to the people of Geelong to decide what type of town we want to be,” he says. “It’s a difficult but exciting time. Geelong is an excellent place for business and the majority of our clients are in Geelong; it’s through our clients’ growth that we have been able to grow.”

The giving culture makes for a neat alignment of interests. Community groups benefit, the lawyers win endorsements, Joe Public learns a little more about the legal fraternity and, as Geelong grows, the business and community grows in strength.

The default position this company has maintained for close on 80 years doesn’t seem to be as readily shared by others these days. That’s a shame, for giving is a virtue and its own reward. ● nmurphy@theweeklyreview.com.au

The Gordon’s ’70s disco hair and beauty photographic competition drew 57 entrants from across the region. Among them were first, second and third-year hairdressing students from The Gordon, as well as make-up students and qualified hairdressers. Some presented a traditional look, while others gave their models a more contemporary look.

Make-up student Tanzy Vickers (Newcomb) won the make-up category and was selected as the overall winner when they were announced at City Quarter Bar at Cunningham Pier.

T

here is something enchanting about discovering a grand old house hidden behind the screen of a lush front garden. It’s not until you step off the street and through the front gate of this substantial Edwardian property that it really begins to reveal its true character.

First there is the perfectly proportioned period façade dating back to the early 1900s. Then there is the beautifully manicured garden inspired by the traditional designs of the same era. Together they create an overwhelming sense of sanctuary from the world.

This separation from the hustle and bustle has held huge appeal for the current owners who are finally saying goodbye to the property after more than 20 years. They leave quite a legacy after extending and renovating to create a floor plan suited to the needs of modern families. The finished product incorporates contemporary touches alongside period features and injects a sense of luxury with an impressive pool deck.

The front section of the house showcases quality period features including high ceilings, decorative plasterwork and double hung windows. The elegant entrance hall has timber fretwork and original internal doors with leadlight panels that have been lovingly restored.

There are two large bedrooms off the hall. The first of these has a bay window while the main bedroom next door has a walk-in wardrobe and gleaming contemporary en suite.

Glossy grey floor and wall tiles complement the granite vanity benchtop and there is a large shower and spa bath.

The entrance hall is also the gateway into the first of the living rooms – an inviting formal dining room with a beautiful bay window and a chandelier centrepiece. It flows through into the open-plan kitchen, meals and living area where parquetry flooring provides another level of detail.

There’s no shortage of preparation or storage space in the kitchen, where solid-timber cabinetry and granite benchtops make an attractive combination. Keen cooks can cater for a crowd thanks to two stainless-steel wall ovens and a 900-millimetre cooktop with canopy rangehood.

The meals area has sliding doors onto an outdoor entertainment area paved in red brick. Established screening trees and a European-style water feature provide an attractive backdrop. The automatic awning allows you to control the amount of sunlight you want depending on the season.

From this patio you can keep an eye on the resort-style swimming pool, which is solar-heated and self-cleaning.

Back inside, there are two further bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a study alongside the main living room. Here you will also find the contemporary family bathroom and the laundry that is packed with storage options, including pull-out laundry baskets to keep your clothes in order.

At the rear, steps lead to a large rumpus room with doors onto the pool deck. It’s ideal for teenagers, or youngsters wanting to spread out their toys. Another bathroom, with a toilet, shower and vanity, has been added here for the convenience of those using the pool.

Behind the rumpus room is the double garage with a remote-controlled door off a rear lane.

Other features include hydronic heating, evaporative cooling, a wood heater, security doors and alarm system. ● NICOLE MAYNE property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Mid-century architecture is showcased in all its glory at this respectfully renovated house. Quality design forms the backbone of the two-storey property that has been extended to offer four spacious bedrooms and two living areas. Those with an eye for retro detail will appreciate the retention of many original features including pendant lights and internal glass doors with hardwood timber frames. They bring character to the house and blend seamlessly with the more contemporary styling found in the kitchen and bathrooms. A wide entrance hall with a spiral staircase creates an initial impression of space and light. This continues into the lounge where large windows frame views of the leafy established garden. A raked ceiling, gas log heater and wool carpets give this room a timeless quality. The adjoining kitchen and dining area has polished timber floors and flows out to a large covered deck. The kitchen features Bosch appliances. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, plus another upstairs with the second living room. ● NICOLE MAYNE

Enjoy all the footy action at this new townhouse just a stone’s throw from Simonds Stadium. The three-bedroom property offers a low-maintenance lifestyle and a convenient location near South Geelong station. It has been finished to a high level with double glazed windows on the top floor and a north-facing courtyard adding to the comfort level. The ground floor is dedicated to a combination of formal and informal living spaces. The carpeted sitting room off the entrance hall has the added flexibility of a built-in study bench. Past the powder room, laundry and staircase is the tiled open-plan kitchen, meals and living room. It’s a generous space with Boutique Stacka doors onto the private courtyard, making it ideal for entertaining. The kitchen has stone benchtops and vinyl joinery, a walk-in pantry, designer tapware and a 900-millimetre oven. There are three bedrooms upstairs, including the main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and stylish en suite. The large double garage, off a rear lane, has roller doors at both ends. ● NICOLE MAYNE

24 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ JUNE 4, 2015

GEELONG WEST \ 33 YUILLE STREET A quality renovation has transformed this traditional miner’s cottage into a place offering both comfort and style.

The blue weatherboard façade with white trims is pretty as a picture and sets the scene for quality interiors that capture the property’s heritage appeal.

Only two rooms remain from the original building but period details inform the overall design with polished hardwood, high ceilings, brass hardware and bespoke skirting boards.

The couple behind the renovation intended to stay at the property for a long time so didn’t scrimp on quality. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the kitchen, which forms the heart of the open-plan living and dining room at the rear. It features teak benchtops, 2pac cabinetry, a butler’s sink and stainless-steel appliances. There’s also a large walk-in pantry with additional storage under the stairs.

For entertaining, it’s hard to go past the covered Fijian mahogany deck surrounded by café blinds.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor and both have soaring timber-lined ceilings in white. A modern bathroom and a well-designed laundry complete this level.

There are two further bedrooms upstairs.

The spacious main bedroom here has views over the rooftops towards Corio Bay, plus a full wall of built-in wardrobes and an en suite. ● NICOLE MAYNE
